As a young man, Mr. Nichols graduated from college with a degree in biology and went on to teach for a few years. Upon his arrival in Rappahannock, he took a job with the Department of Agriculture in Warrenton, working in a veterinary lab as microbiologist. He retired in 1989, after 30 years of service.

Coming to Rappahannock, Mr. Nichols wasted no time getting involved. He became a charter member of the Rappahannock Lions Club and later a lifetime memlvr, an honor that is handed down by the international office recognizing an excellence in dedication and service. He is fondly remembered as the man who sold apple butter, standing along U.S. 211, with jar in hand, supporting his club.

"He has done so many things for the club," said fellow Lion's Club member Holly Pendleton. He remembers Mr. Nichols participation with various projects, his willingness to work and his active participation in club activities serving as a member of the Board of Directors, past president several times, and secretary.
